Groupon has agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the online commerce company violated federal and state laws by failing to disclose that vouchers contained expiration dates and various restrictions.
The Groupon class action lawsuit further claimed that the company failed to make required disclosures about the terms of use or terms of sale regarding vouchers on Groupon’s website.
The $8.5 million Groupon settlement will reimburse Class Members for unused vouchers through online credits to the e-marketplace.
A 2012 Groupon proposed settlement agreement has been terminated. However, individuals who submitted Claim Forms under the last voucher settlement will automatically be resubmitted for this one unless they want to withdraw, which must happen before Jan. 9, 2016.
Several businesses filed lawsuits against Groupon which were centralized in the Southern District of California, except one potential Groupon class action lawsuit that remains pending in Illinois.
Groupon continues to deny the allegations yet agreed to the terms of the voucher class action settlement in order to avoid the cost of further litigation.

I just emailed Groupon…per customer services’ request…and gave them all the info, I.e., phone number of Consulting firm and issues.
Let’s see what happens from here.
WE ALL NEED TO CALL RUST CONSULTING IN FARIBAULT, MN. THIS HAS GONE WAY TOO LONG. IF THEY ARE BEING RUDE THEN THAT CONCERNS ME ALL THE MORE.
PHONE NUMBER IS: 507/333-4300
I just checked and the website is accessible, but nothing has been updated since June. I’ve yet to receive anything in the mail. I tried emailing them and the email was returned immediately. Anyone else had any luck?
I actually spoke with Rust consulting )who is handling the claims) a month ago. They were very rude and stated there was no timeline as to when the Groupon vouchers will be issued.
Claims website (grouponvouchersettlement.com) is still down as of 1/2/2017. I think I last saw it up and running around November 2016, which is when I bookmarked the site.
No one will ever see anything for the class action lawsuit.
Just noticed the claims website is down; maybe they’re getting ready to post updates?
We were able to access the settlement website. Unfortunately, no updates on when claims will be paid.
Anyone find any updates on this one?
Unfortunately, no updates on when claims will be paid. You may want to contact class counsel with any questions or concerns about the claims process. Keep checking TCA for updates. We will let our viewers know as soon as we learn that voucher credits are being distributed!
Wow

This was the update on the website This page was updated on June 24, 2016 with a status update on the Groupon Settlement.
The appeal filed by Caroline Tucker has been dismissed, and the district court’s Order and Judgment approving the Settlement Agreement is now final and non-appealable.

In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the Claims Administrator is currently reviewing the Settlement Claims that have been submitted and determining the validity of such Claims.

The website will be updated as additional information becomes available.
